Vibrant

"The 'Fool', a sculpture I created back in 1993 has long been a favorite of mine. With this new piece, Vibrant, the concept is being explored once again. Obvious updates with the costuming, gender, and creature, differences aside, the characters share a playful ease and balance in the pose while interacting intensely with their respective disgruntled little friends perched upon them. If not downright impossible, even a master of ballet would have difficulty striking this pose. Yet, that is the beauty and fun, to imagine those extreme limits and make them appear perfectly natural to the character. It's a favorite theme of mine, one I've returned to 'naturally' time and time again." -Lorraine Vail
